LOS ANGELES (CBS) — Authorities say a Transportation Security Administration officer was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport after being accused of stealing $100 from a passenger.
Clyde Reese, 47, of Gardena, was arrested on suspicion of theft about 8 a.m. Friday and booked at the 77th Street Station in response to an airline passenger complaint in Terminal 5, Los Angeles Airport police Sgt. Karla Ortiz told the Daily Breeze.
The victim, who wasn’t identified, said he put his wallet and other items in a bin and passed it through the X-ray machine, and Reese said it needed to go through a second time, Ortiz said.
When the bin emerged, the victim said his wallet was open and his credit cards were scattered inside, Ortiz said. She told the Daily Breeze the victim said his boss gave him $500 for expenses and $100 was missing.

I believe the TSA to be a criminal, unconstitutional agency anyhow. It’s good this agent didn’t get away with theft.
All and I do mean ALL,the “TSA” agents I have ever looked at ,remind me of the aunt’s or uncle’s in everybodies families that no one ever talks about except in private.You know the ones that have a “problem” being alone with young kid’s or are always “on or off the wagon”.Those kinds of folks that have maybe “gone away for a while” like (2 to 5 years).In short the scumbags that have no business being in a position of authority.In a word LOWLIFE !
TSA – job opportunities for perverts, thieves and flashers. Apply at your local government office.
ANOTHER good reason not to fly.
